[quote=Anonymous]5-6-7 are tough ages because all of their friends are still getting little brothers and sisters. That will pass. My only is 12 and he likes his friends' little siblings and loves babies but never expresses sadness that he's an only. He loves his life and has tons of friends. I was sad to have only one kid for a while, but it wasn't in the cards for us and I decided to embrace the family we have versus pining for something that might have been. There is much to love about the portability and extra $$ with only one kid, not to mention the fact that we have the extra time to remain deeply engaged with our child and not split our energies among more children. So I can call out from work and take an impromptu day trip to the beach. We can both attend our kids' baseball games. I like to read our kid's required reading, too, so we can discuss, and my husband has the time and patience to help our kid master bread baking.[/quote]
